About
The Cooker is a studio album by the American jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan. It was released through Blue Note Records in January 1958. The quintet features saxophonist Pepper Adams and rhythm section Bobby Timmon, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jone. The recording was made on September 29, 1957. Recorded and released while Morgan was still just nineteen years old, The Cooker is the first album to feature his own original composition, as well as the first without any compositions written by Benny Golson. The Cooker is considered a demonstration of Morgan's early bebop virtuosity, with its frequent double time improvisational line. It is also noted for performance trademarks which would later come to typify Morgan's style, such as clipped note, upward slur, half-valving, and triple-tonguing. Personnel Lee Morgan – trumpet Pepper Adams – baritone saxophone Bobby Timmons – piano Paul Chambers – bass .
